Request - accessing ucam.adverts.accomodation

[jack]

I'm currently in the grad cafe off mill lane. I need to post a message to ucam.adverts.accomodation cancelling my house advert. Could anyone:

(1a) Tell me if/how I can use nntp-serv.cam.ac.uk from not a university connection
(1b) Tell me if there's another news server which carries that newsgroup
(1c) Tell me if/how I can read news ssh'd into srcf
(1d) Laugh at my ignorance and suggest an obvious answer I've missed, or tell me it's impossible

(2) Post a message for me?

Thanks.

a) Get PuTTY
b) Set port forward for 119 to nntp-serv
c) SSH to inside CUDN machine (have I yet told you how you should have got a SRCF account..)
d) Use localhost as newsserver.

Wow, that's so cool. Thanks, you are TEH RICH, Rich by name and Rich by knowledge and generosity.

Sorry, I knew that was possible in theory, but I had no idea how easy it was. And my previous experiments also worked, apparently.

Oh, and yes, I indeed had already done (a) and (c) :)
